Chapter 766: Pull up a grass platform team!
Although the event team gave a lot of red lights, participating in the 24 hours of Le Mans is not a joke, so Li Fanyu still needs to make a lot of preparations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, there is the question of the participants.
It stands to reason that as long as the money is spent, there are no drivers who can't be found. However, the incident of Le Mans reminded Li Fanyu that now that the group has developed and grown, it is inevitable to participate in international competitions in the future.
You must have a team.
According to the requirements of the race, there must be three riders in each group during the race. Li Fanyu can top one by himself, but the other two......
It's not easy to find.
After returning to Paris from Le Mans, after thinking for a long time along the way, Li Fanyu decided on the candidate.
Since challenging the world's shortest drift entry record with a mini, Han Yue has left the identity of a stunt driver and participated in domestic rally events with the sponsorship of Li Fanyu.
In the past two years, the level has been okay. It should be possible to top the number.
His unsuccessful apprentice Lou Lu can't be counted on at all now, after participating in the National Youth Karting Competition before and not getting the ranking, this girl has been depressed for a long time.
Later, Li Fanyu pointed out a few more times, the little girl may be ashamed and brave, and her progress is quite fast. But Li Fanyu has been riddled with things for the past year, and he hasn't seen that girl for a long time.
Two days ago, Lou Lu was still complaining to herself on WeChat, she may have found a fake master.
And even if Lou Lu's driving skills are good, she is only a fifteen-year-old child, and it is impossible to expect her to compete in such a competitive event as Le Mans.
However, after the National Junior Karting Competition, Lou Lu introduced him to another child. It just so happened that he knew this kid - it was Chen Chen, a karting driver who won himself and Alonso with a rib turn in the go-kart charity race sponsored by Red Bull!
This kid is so strong that after having a sponsor, he is not willing to be a foil for the team. Grabbing a place in the National Junior Karting Championship, he was cleared out by the team.
Later, Li Fanyu funded him in his own name.
Now, Chen Chen has successfully qualified as the main driver of the JRC Youth Rally Championship K2 team, and won a championship last year.
He was a little younger, only sixteen years old. But...... The level is still okay.
There is no way, the time is too tight, and there is no room for your own choice.
Li Fanyu made two phone calls and told Chen Chen and Han Yue that he was going to form a team to participate in Le Mans, which made these two people very excited!
The answer was given on the spot - absolutely no problem!
According to Le Mans' rules, the main driver cannot drive for more than fourteen hours. So in Li Fanyu's expectation, as long as these two people each help themselves for five hours, everything will be fine.
That's how the riders settled.
In terms of teams, according to the requirements of the event, a team with a registration period of more than two years is required.
This point is very easy to solve with practical money, and I thought that according to Pinaille's suggestion, I would buy one at random. But after informing Chen Chen that he was going to participate in Le Mans, Cheng Ke's phone called.
Dead and alive want Li Fanyu to use her K2 team.
Although at that time, Li Fanyu was just in the spirit of play, and established this kart team with Cheng Ke. But what Li Fanyu didn't expect was that Cheng Ke had already run the team decently.
Maybe Keke is idle, or maybe she is really obsessed with racing, and she has invested many times to make the K2 team impressive - Chen Chen is now in her team.
When she asks for leave, she naturally has to go through her little boss - that's how she knows.
Anyway, it has already been decided with the event group, and Li Fanyu also relied on this Nizi.
The drivers, the team are all solved, all that remains is the logistics of the car and the team.
Although the K2 team has its own mechanic, it is only a domestic low-level configuration after all, and it is obviously not up to Le Mans.
But this is not difficult for Li Fanyu, I believe that there are such talents.
He contacted Wang Rui directly and asked him to rush to France as soon as possible with the Jinya R prototype and mechanic.
The Arrow-R was developed for mass production needs, and there are many things that need to be modified to run endurance races - including removing some extraneous accessories to meet lightweight standards, as well as aero kits and the like.
Seeing this, Li Fanyu's heart was slightly relieved.
Although there is a suspicion of dealing with it, it doesn't matter...... The matter of Le Mans is decided.
With a little excitement, Li Fanyu returned to the hotel with Zhou Qingyu.
……
On the other hand, Li Fanyu was sent away, and Pinaille immediately organized a propaganda group to announce that Zhengxin Audi had confirmed that he had participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race as the finale of the registration!
"China Zhengxin Audi officially submitted an application today to participate in the LMP1 class of this year's Le Mans Endurance Race!"
As soon as the news was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of the LMP1 participating car manufacturers.
Next.
If the car factory cares most about Zhengxin participating in Le Mans, then there is no doubt that it is the defending champion Europa League team in the 24 hours of Le Mans.
For the opponents that this competition group has forcibly pulled for themselves, the Europa League has given a high degree of vigilance.
After seeing the entry materials of Zhengxin through special channels, DR. Yurian, the big man of the Europa League sports department, smiled.
"God, is this a joke? An unknown prototype, a team from the JRC Junior Championship, three half-trailer riders. Do you want to send such a lineup to death on the track at Le Mans? Go, tell the drivers of the three groups that when they see the Zhengxin team on the track, they must never be polite! We must teach this fledgling car company who is the absolute king of endurance racing!"
Toyota.
This 24 hours of Le Mans has a different meaning for Toyota.
Although in the LMP1 class, Toyota still launched its own new generation of prototype cars, full of ambition to compete for the championship. But in fact, the WT-SUN, the hybrid prototype that participated in the LMP2 competition, is more like Toyota's main event.
Coincidentally, the Toyota team leader who led the team to participate in the LMP2 group this time was the granddaughter of the current Toyota president - Toyota Chixia.
After seeing the details of Zhengxin's entry, Toyoda China's somewhat neutral eyebrows glanced together.
He waved his hand at the assistant and sent it away. She gently put the information on the table, and muttered to the window for a moment before muttering: "Fan Yujun, is it because you think that the Chosen Son on your body is too bright, which makes you so frivolous and arrogant?
The news also quickly spread to the country.
When I heard that Zhengxin was going to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the media blew up, and Zhengxin's fans were boiling!
All kinds of speculation, voices of support or decline broke out in an instant, and Zhengxin once again became the focus of people's attention.
And Li Fanyu, who was on the cusp of the storm, was in Zhou Qingyu's hotel suite at this time, solemnly negotiating with a French chef who weighed 200 pounds;
"The recipe I gave you is called sweet and sour pork ribs! Why don't you put vinegar on sweet and sour pork ribs!"
